Bam Adebayo shot 6-of-6 from the field to score 12 points on Wednesday, despite playing only 10 minutes.

The low playing time was self-inflicted because he also picked up five personal fouls during his limited action. He added three rebounds with one block and has been impressive with an expanded role, but it's unlikely to happen while Hassan Whiteside is healthy and playing well. Nov 14 - 10:49 PM

Bam Adebayo scored eight points (3-of-6 FG, 2-of-4 FT) with four rebounds, two assists, and one block in 19 minutes against the 76ers on Monday.

Adebayo has obvious upside, but he's just buried behind Hassan Whiteside on the depth chart. If Whiteside were to get hurt or the Heat were to fall out of the playoff race, Bam would see a tremendous increase in value. Until then, he's hard to hold outside of deeper leagues. Nov 12 - 10:47 PM

Bam Adebayo moved back to the bench on Wednesday with two points, three rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 12 minutes against the Spurs.

Hassan Whiteside played one of the best games of his life today, so he looks to be healthy. Adebayo had a magnificent preseason and he'll likely get a shot to produce at some point in the near future, but he's more of a stash while Whiteside is in the starting lineup. Nov 7 - 10:44 PM

Bam Adebayo made his first start of the season on Monday vs. Detroit, scoring 11 points with eight rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block in 29 minutes.

Andre Drummond dominated on the inside with a 25-point, 24-rebound double-double, but Adebayo put up a serviceable fantasy line with Hassan Whiteside (knee) on the shelf. Kelly Olynyk played 24 solid minutes with five fouls, so this could be a timeshare if Whiteside misses more time -- the Heat will run some tests on the center on Tuesday. Olynyk has more upside, but both guys are worth a look while we wait on an update. Nov 5 - 11:03 PM

Goran Dragic had his right knee drained on Monday and will sit out the next three games for Miami.

"We knew it wasn’t serious but we knew it was something that needed to be taken care of," said Erik Spoelstra. "Hopefully, we can take care of it and wipe it out right now." It's never a good sign for a 32-year-old to be dealing with knee issues this early in the season, and this is the same knee that cost Dragic time last season. Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington will be the primary beneficiaries while he's out, and Josh Richardson will spend more time running the offense.

Dwyane Wade (personal) is being listed as "out" for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Erik Spoelstra was quoted on Monday saying he expects Wade back "soon," so maybe he'll be able to get out there for Friday's game in Chicago. With both Wade and Goran Dragic (knee) unavailable for Tuesday, Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington will get all the run they can handle with Josh Richardson running the show on offense.
